After seeing some of the photos of Chile's celebration over Pakistan in Davis Cup...all I can say is...what a sad, pathetic display...The way they reacted, it looked as if they won the whole cup...Did you see the scores of the matches? Come on... :(

Chile is very happy to be back to World Group. I don't see what's wrong with the way they celebrated. Look at how Germany won a match and you'll think they just won the Davis Cup.

that was a very important 5 set win in doubles, not the same thing. chile knew it was going to win, there's not point in even playing the tie

I watched through the internet - www.tvn.cl had a live stream going. I don't think the celebration was excessive - they ran around the court holding up the flag and Gonzo sprayed champagne around - that is pretty standard for Davis Cup I think. Pakistan beat Thailand earlier this year, I don't think Chile was taking them for granted, and they were glad to get the win, and wanted to share in the celebration with the fans.

I take it that this person has never watched a Davis Cup match before. The reaction was perfectly natural, as DC reactions go.

It is normal celebration. Roge was sprinked with champagne also and they were jumping and screaming

Only thing, for Pakistahns I think liquor is forbidden : so hopefully the Chiliean champagne has not come near them!

What a "great" accomplishment by the Chilean team...truly worthy of national celebration...Let the vino flow over these epic victories!!!!!

I thought it was a bit overdone, myself, and I only saw the pictures. Celebrating is perfectly fine but that much after that easy a tie? Hmmmm, not loving it.

Note to all Chilean fans, should Chile defeat the Cairo School for the Blind, please limit your celebrations to one, NOT TWO, bottles of champagne...

because it would so much less offensive to act like beating them took no effort at all, and they were about as excited about this victory as they would be about winning a match against their mom.

Cripes, I think you have to ask yourself why their celebration bothers you so much??? If you'd bother to read any of the pre and post interviews you'd know the Chilean players were very respectful and didn't take anything for granted. The team has been training for two weeks and are very happy to be back in to the world group. Their celebration was not to diss Pakistan or the team. They made the world group last year and lost to Russia while Massu was out injured. It was very dissapointing for them. So they're happy what's so bad about that.

Jeeze, why don't you find a real problem to complain about.

*Viva Chile*

09-25-2005, 02:40 AM

Yeah yeah, Mr. sawan66278.... for your words I think you explain that the chileans are a lot of idiots :rolleyes: the chilean people is passionated, when we won a football match, a tennis match we become happy for this, the players and all of us... is our country that won and what's wrong with that??????............. If in your country this conduct seems pathetic, I'm sorry.... but you can't change with your stupid opinion our idiosincrasy. :(

You're right...next time I beat my five-year old nephew in tennis, I'll celebrate because I'm a passionate person :rolleyes:

Please...if one trained for two weeks to play someone, and then when the time came, your opponent suffered a broken arm and still played, would you celebrate the victory? Look at the scores!!! This is like the Dream Team in basketball taking off their jerseys and pouring the champagne after beating someone by 50 points!!!!! Where is the spirit of competition?

I understand some revelry...but come on... :rolleyes:

Fergie

09-25-2005, 04:46 AM

Is Chile's fault if the another team isn't enough good? :rolleyes:

Chile won and this is reason why the team celebrate, not for the score or the rivals

They have the right to celebrate the way they want, as long as they don´t disrespect the oppponent.

You're not chilean and you will never understand. But it's very annoying your point of view :rolleyes: The chilean team was very respectful with the pakistanies. The completely tie was in order, there's nothing about the scores or the level of the rivals.

For other side, In Chile we have the custom of celebrate anything. And we have a phrase about it: "the Chileans always want for a reason to celebrate and having fun" :drink: We're only try to be happy for a while ;)

Chile won but you can't let them celebrate! :rolleyes: Pathetic! :rolleyes:

No one is saying that Chile SHOULD NOT celebrate...but the manner and degree are what at issue...From your earlier responses, it appears that Chileans will use any excuse to celebrate in extreme fashion...PLEASE...the matches were never in doubt, the scores were blowouts...and they are celebrating like the won the Cup...Running around, spraying champagne...It's not like they won the World Series or World Cup...

But perhaps in their minds....sadly, it is :sad:

David Kenzie

09-25-2005, 04:29 PM

I don't see where the problem is.

It's not the victory over Pakistan they are celebrating, but the return in the World Group. It has nothing to do with the quality of the opposition or the scores of the matches...

Experimentee

09-25-2005, 04:35 PM

They were celebrating getting into the World Group rather than having tough victories. Noting wrong with that.

KoOlMaNsTeVeN, I agree with you 100%. It is not as though Chile has not achieved in international competition. Who could ask for greater accomplishments than their Olympic efforts last year?

Having a little more tact would suffice...even Andy Roddick, after defeating Rochus in a highly competitive tie and match, did not react in such a manner...As reported on the Roddick/Rochus match:

"The match kept the capacity crowd of 3,500 spellbound. With fans jeering every U.S. point after the crucial line call, the Americans left the court without celebrating.

``It would have been unprofessional,'' Roddick said. ``You don't want that quality of a match to end like that. You would not want to rub it in people's faces.''

Wait a minute, I forgot...Pakistan was a much more difficult match-up... :rolleyes:

Well, a poster already told you!
It's all about differents cultures, and if it's not your culture you SHOULD respect it! I know you have a different culture and I'll respect you for that but you CAN'T call us Pathetics only because we have a different way to think/celebrate.
If you can't understand this.. hmm i think you have a big problem man!
